I agree with you that he should be seeing a medical oncologist and not a urologist at this point. At Fox Chase, you have Elizabeth Plimack - one of the top MOs.

Thank you. Dads spirits are very good. Yesterday he was overjoyed to get on the rider mower and mow his lawn at 90 years of age. I took a video of him in his glory! We are waiting to get appt for a PET scan. I’ll check out Fox Chase and Penn for oncologist. Dads daughter.
